House of Mystery Vol. 2 #14 (Ongoing)

is an occult and horror-themed ongoing comic book anthology series based on the classic House of Mystery series that ran from 1951 to 1983. It is written by Matthew Sturges. It debuted in July 2008, published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. It features a different story each issue, told by people trapped in a "purgatory-like" House of Mystery. They are gathered in the house bar where everyone must pay for their drinks with stories, and no one can leave without being picked up by the house's mysterious coachman. None of the house's occupants are sure why some people might get to leave and others not, so each person's stay is at least ostensibly eternal until the coachman inexplicably turns up to take them away. This doesn't stop some of the inhabitants from trying to get out. Issue #14 is entitled "Lost and Found", part 3 of the story arc entitled "The Space Between."

As Fig's Dad and Harry make their way back home, Peter reveals one of the House's key mysteries – the identity of their captor – and Harry realizes he knew it all along. Meanwhile, Rina spills her guts, the Thinking Man's Army joins forces with the Coachman, and werewolves and suicide bombers wreak havoc. Plus, the short story "Maidenhead" illustrated by comic book legend Gilbert Hernandez (Love and Rockets, SLOTH)! Written by Matthew Sturges; Art by Luca Rossi and Jose Marzan Jr. and Gilbert Hernandez; Cover by Esao Andrews. --
